Terror At The Pagan Store.

[MoonCat]

Holy sh*t. Cops should have been called right from the get-go. That brat is out of control.

I know someone who owns a pagan supplies store. It's a beautiful place. The thought of someone going nuts like that in there makes me sick. Even with insurance, she'd be out a chunk of money after clean-up, repairs, replacing broken/spilled merchandise.

Even if it weren't a Pagan store, the girl should not have acted like that in ANY form on private or public place.

I hope that we get to hear more on how it turns out, because i'd LOVE to hear what the parents are going to do to fix those damages.

They should absolutly make her pay for ALL the damage she caused.
Those pagan type stores have such cool and interesting stuff in them.

fireheart: They are legal to sell-but you need ID and to be over 18 to buy them. Why Herne doesn't use a wand is beyond me-it serves the same purpose except you can't carve things.

I'm actually surprised that the shop owners sells athames full stop. One of the most famous witches in Australia, Fiona Horne, said in one of her books that she had trouble taking her athame with her when she went overseas because they'd keep asking why she had a knife in her bag.

Sounds like that kid has some behavioral/emotional/anger management problems. I hope the parents don't let her out of their sight for quite some time! 50/50 chance they'll deny their little snowflake would EVER behave that way though!

hopefully, the shop charges her for all the damaged merchandise. kids like that need a handler, leash and muzzle.

This comes to me third hand.

So last week Best Friend and I visited our local Pagan store because Best Friend was in search of a book by famous fairy artist "Ryan Cloud" and because we hadn't been in a while. We were talking with Female Clerk and her brother, and I noticed that one of the doors on the jewelry case on the countertop was missing.

A few days before, Teenage Girl (TG) and friends storm into the store and walk into the main room, where the jars of herbs are kept. They open the testers and sprinkle them over each other, racing around, throwing herbs everywhere. Then they try to grab the statues and athames to chase each other around with. (Athames are blunt edged double sided knives used to direct energy, to call the gods or in "magickal" workings-I say "magickal" not in a derogatory sense but because the energy work in performing spells is different than stage magician pull-a-rabbit-out-of-my-hat illusion tricks.) TG goes into the front room, where they keep incense, oils, jewelry, stones and crystals, etc, and starts playing with the oils, opening them up, sprinkling them all over the place. (And these are expensive, essential oils...) TG is told off by Cool Guy (CG) at desk to knock it off. TG throws hissy fit and starts cussing out CG. CG says, "Look, either knock it off or we will get you out of here in one of two ways-by police or by you leaving." TG throws bigger hissy fit. TG overturns jewelry case, throws case full of sharp crystal points at TG and lobs softball sized sphere at CG. CG finally picks TG up by belt and back of shirt and throws her out of the store. TG kicks in the glass door of the store and cuts herself, badly, then throws biggest hissy fit of all. Police are called, ambulance are called. Girl is arrested, surveillance video from at least 10 different angles is handed over to the police and plans to sue the parents of TG are in the works.

Just, wow.
